104 mins
In pre-war Italy, a young couple have a baby boy. The father, however, is jealous of his son - and the scene moves to antiquity, where the baby is taken into the desert to be killed. He is rescued, given the name Edipo (Oedipus), and brought up by the King and Queen of Corinth as their son.

Horrified, he flees Corinth and his supposed parents - only to get into a fight and kill an older man on the road…
